The Great Gig4GNV Scavenger Hunt is NOW LIVE!!

Hello hunters...are you ready for GAIN's Great Gig4GNV Scavenger Hunt? Are you going to win our top prize, one of our random drawings or just collect checkin rewards along the way?

However you plan to participate, listen up because the starting gun fires NOW!

Hereʼs how to play:

1) Download the free mobile checkin app WeReward from the iphone app store, the android marketplace, or the Blackberry app world (search for “wereward” or “we reward”). If you have trouble finding it, just email gig4gnv@gmail.com for help. Note, you can still participate even if you donʼt have a smartphone, just by taking pictures at the locations and emailing them to gig4gnv@gmail.com as described below -- you just canʼt collect the per-checkin rewards offered via WeReward.

2) Visit as many of these Gig4GNV supporters as possible in October:

• WIND-FM 92.5 - 4020 Newberry Road, Suite 100
• Sante Fe CIED - 401 N.W. 6 Street

• Albert & Alberta - 1938 W. University Ave.

Note: Searching for location names or "gig4gnv" in the WeReward app can also help find locations.

3) Earn contest entries by checking in to each location using the WeReward app or by taking a digital picture and emailing it to gig4gnv@gmail.com. EVERY checkin via WeReward earns you points that are redeemable for cash. In addition, each checkin will count as entries for awesome prizes as follows:

• Checkin picture at location, but without any logos = 1 entry.

• Checkin picture at location, with location logo OR Gig4GNV logo = 2 entries.

• Checkin picture at location, with location logo AND Gig4GNV logo = 5 entries.

Note: Many locations, but not all (e.g. Albert & Alberta), will have their logo and the Gig4GNV logo on display, but you are welcome to print the Gig4GNV logo above and bring it with you to claim the extra entries. If you can't find the Gig4GNV logo at a location, just checkin anyway; maybe you'll get lucky at your next location. Only one checkin per hunter, per location is allowed. If multiple are submitted for a single location, only the checkin worth the most entries will be approved. For example, submitting an extra checkin to include logos that were missed the first time. GAIN is the sole and final judge on whether any checkin qualifies as an entry. Ties will be resolved by the time of last checkin.

4) Challenge your friends to join The Great Gig4GNV Scavenger Hunt! The more Gig4GNV

supporters we can rally with this hunt, the better our chances of winning Google
Gigabit Fiber for our community.

5) Win some amazingly cool prizes! In addition to per-checkin rewards up to $1 at EVERY location, the following prizes will be awarded when The Great Gig4GNV Scavenger Hunt completes at midnight, October 31st:

1st Place, most total entries: Wins a Rovio Wifi Roaming Robot, a Roomba 435 Vacuum Robot, or a $200 Gainesville merchant gift card

2nd Place: Wins an 8GB Video Watch, Magic Wand Programmable TV Remote or a $100 Gainesville merchant gift card

3rd Place: Wins a WiFi Detector Shirt, a pair of Proximity Sensing Shirts or a $30 Gainesville merchant gift card

Plus, five (5) lucky hunters will be randomly drawn from all entries to receive a FREE Grooveshark VIP streaming music membership (cost: $30, value: priceless) from this guy:

Ready...set...checkin!

Gig4GNV hunter, checkin of the day. An obvious superstar who gives off his own solar flares -- but did he realize The Blue Path checkin at the Natural History museum was right next door?!?

Looking forward to do doing some scavenging this weekend.

Comment by Ryan Moorhead on October 5, 2010 at 10:20am

Honestly, just having the chance at the Rovio robot is worth an entry.

We're excited at the Harn Museum of Art to be part of the scavenger hunt! Good luck to one and all!
